Who We Are

One Degree Paraplanning was founded in 2015 by Charles Cooch. Charles wanted to provide financial advisers with a locally based outsourced paraplanning solution that was different from other paraplanning services available in the marketplace at that time.

Originally founded as a sole trader business, One Degree has continued to grow, forging long-lasting relationships with dealer groups, financial planning businesses and advisers alike.

One Degree now boasts a highly experienced in-house team of paraplanners who are supported by a small, experienced team of contractors to provide financial advisers with the best outsourced paraplanning team available.

With advisers not locked into any volume commitment when engaging One Degree Paraplanning, we are only as good as our last Statement of Advice (SOA).

This approach to delivering excellence with every piece of work we do has helped drive the business from a single adviser 7 years ago, to now working regularly with 100 advisers across 60 businesses and 20 dealer groups.

While our headquarters are based in Melbourne, our team provides outsourced paraplanning services to businesses across Australia, with the majority of our client base in Victoria, Queensland, and New South Wales.
